Global Community stands for building a global civilization for all life on Earth.
Building global communities
require understanding of global problems this generation is facing.
There are sev
eral major problems: conflicts and wars, no tolerance and
compassion for one another, world overpopulation, human activities
destroying and polluting, as population increases the respect and value
of a human life is in decline, insufficient protection and prevention
for global health, scarcity of resources and drinking water, poverty,
Fauna and Flora species disappearing at a fast rate, global warming and
global climate change, global pollution, deforestation, permanent lost
of the Earth's genetic heritage, and the destruction of the global
life-support systems and the eco-systems of the planet. We need to build
global communities for all life on the planet. We need to build global
communities that will manage themselves with the understanding of the
above problems. Our goal for peace in the world can only be reached by
resolving these important global problems. These problems have brought
up a planetary state of emergency.
Life often involves tensions
between important values. This can mean difficult choices. However, we
must find ways to harmonize diversity with unity, the exercise of
freedom with the common good, short-term objectives with long-term
goals. Every individual, family, organization, and community has a vital
role to play. The arts, sciences, religions, educational institutions,
media, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and governments are
all called to offer creative leadership. The partnership of government,
civil society, and business is essential for an effective global
governance based on Global Community concepts and the Scale of Global
Rights.
Our first objective was to find statements from all
religions that promote the respect, stewardship, protection, ethical and
moral responsibility to life and of the environment, the Earth global
life-support systems, and statements that promote a responsible Earth
management. Specific statements on environmental conservation are also
important. This process was assumed to work well within the context of
the Global Dialogue and after defining Global Community criteria of
symbiotical relationships. In the context of the global civilization of
the 3rd Millennium, we have defined that any symbiotical relationship is
for the good of all, for the good of the 'other'. It is based on a
genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's
well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour. Symbiotical relationships
are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the
protection of life on Earth.
A new symbiotical relationship
between religion and the protection of the global life-support systems
has begun to take place all over the world. Religious rituals now
support the conservation efforts and play a central role in governing
sustainable use of the natural environment. Major faiths are issuing
declarations, advocating for new national policies, and creating
educational activities in support of a sustainable global community.
Global Community is establishing a symbiotical relationship between
spirituality and science, between our heart and mind, and God, between
religion and the environment. The human family is finding its role in
the universe, a higher purpose and a meaning. We now can celebrate life.
This effort will lead over time to an escalation of human
values and symbiotical relationships transcending money centered
economics.
The fundamental criteria of any symbiotical
relationship is that a relationship is created for the good of all
groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity,
all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and
peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global
economy.
The question is how can we improve the political
symbiotical relationship to fulfill the fundamental criteria? Global
Community promotes the values and principles to achieve the fundamental
criteria and that requires the promoting and establishment of: global
community ethics, mutual respect, respect for life, basic liberties,
justice and equity, caring for the 'other', integrity, responsibility
and accountability, and be compassionate.
Living at the
crossroads of this global crisis, we must hasten its passage, while
assisting in the birth of a new civilization, the global civilization,
based on life affirming rather than money affirming values. All over the
world people are indeed waking up to the truth. We should strive and
take steps to reclaim and rebuild our local economy. Be sustainable
locally first, and globally next only if needed.
The peoples of
all Nations, in creating an ever closer Global Community among
themselves, a Global Civilization, are resolved to share a peaceful
future based on common values. Conscious of its spiritual and moral
heritage, Global Community is founded on the indivisible, universal
values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based
on the principles of democracy and the rule of global law. It places the
individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the Global
Community citizenship, and by creating an era of freedom, security,
global justice and social harmony.
Global Community allows
people to take control of their own lives. The Global Community was
built from a grassroots process with a vision for humanity that is
challenging every person on Earth as well as nation governments. Global
Community has a vision of the people working together building a new
civilization including a healthy and rewarding future for the next
generations, and living at peace and harmony. Global cooperation brings
people together for a common future for the good of all.

An
important objective of Global Community is to create a peaceful and just
society. We believe that the peaceful development of the Global
Community cannot be done unless social harmony is being created amongst
community members.
